This engaging folktale, a Balkan version of The Three Little Pigs, is illustrated with great charm by the internationally acclaimed artist Ivan Gantschev. When Father Rabbit sends his three little rabbits off into the world, he tells them to dig themselves safe burrows, because he warns them to hide in the ground if a fox appears. Giddy with their new independence, two of the little rabbits do not heed their father's warning. The first builds a nest, and the second a house of twigs. Only their sister takes the time to dig a safe burrow, working day and night while her brothers play. Her hard work pays off, for a sly, hungry fox does indeed come by, threatening the three little rabbits.
